Hi Karen:
There are few good articles about the peroxide safety written by Clark and Mason in JCHAS. You may find the information very helpful.
Good luck.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Peroxide Formers Question
We’re in discussion with a research group who uses quite a number of materials flagged by our inventory system as being peroxide formers. Their claim is that certain of their materials will be unlikely to form peroxides because there are
other chemicals mixed in with things life THF and ether (for example, methylmagnesium bromide in THF). My thought is that their logic is sound, but I wanted to push the question to a broader group to see if there is a consensus out there.
Thank you,
